This recipe is from my elder sister Vasudha. She is an Interior designer and teacher by profession. My readers who are regulars here know that my whole family has a keen interest in cooking. So this one is her contribution. I simply loved the photos and her trademark style of collaging the photos. You can see her style in her blog Cherishing Spaces.
